Session 1360 Decline of Academic Standards in Engineering Education ? – Polish Experience – Andrzej Krasniewski and Roman Z. Morawski Warsaw University of TechnologyI. IntroductionThe process of declining academic standards, observed at American institutions of highereducation, has been reported in the 90s by many authors; an extensive review of the relevantsources may be found in a paper submitted to this conference by Brian Manhire from OhioUniversity1. In our paper, we discuss some aspects of this, in fact, world-wide process that canbe observed at Warsaw

[12-36].The education of engineers and the existence of a well-prepared technical workforce aretherefore critical to every nation to ensure the prosperity of their citizens. Engineers andscientists have always learned and tried to tackle new challenges or to find solutions of theproblems. However, the unprecedented availability of tools, computers and equipment to doalmost everything does, however, suggest that engineering educators must rethink how studentsare prepared and educated in their disciplines. Computer programs and software packages to dovirtually anything, from simple calculations, to simulating complex systems, to design acomplete engineered system, are empowering the engineers and students, alike to do more thanhis or her

sustainable economic growth. It is muchmore than how to use this or that machine, tool, or software. As such, Technology Educationdoes not focus on the specific skills of career preparation. Technological literacy is essential forall Americans, regardless of the careers, professions, and majors they select1. Up until now, therole of Technology Education within Career and Technology Education has been ill-defined andmisunderstood by school administrators, parents, students, higher education institutions, and theteachers themselves. As a result, instructional activities in the technology classroom typically,(1) focus on hands-on activities related to tools and materials, (2) do not integrate or support thecore academic subjects, and (3) do not use

Cybersecurity experts need deep technical skills along with capabilities torecognize and respond to complex and emergent behavior.To our knowledge, not much work has been done on the development of expertise incybersecurity. As a community, we are lacking research-based educational theory that caninform the education of needed cybersecurity experts. In this work, we approach this problem byemploying modeling-eliciting activities and evaluate if it will help promote students to cultivatedeep understanding and critical thinking skills in the field of cybersecurity.College cybersecurity courses should ensure that the activities employed can
